Aquamarine Beach Residences
One- and two-bedroom beach apartments on Sobha's Siniya Island in Umm Al Quwain, listed by Sobha from AED 1.53 million on 12 November 2026, on a 10/50/40 plan with completion expected in mid-2028.
What works
- 10% deposit, lower than the 20% asked at several neighbouring beach clusters
- Some one-bedroom layouts include yards of about 150 sq ft
- Completion expected in June 2028, with construction recorded as under way since November 2024
What to weigh
- 50% falls due during construction and 40% at handover, so the lower deposit is offset by larger later payments
- Listing sizes of up to 1,029 sq ft for two-bedroom units do not appear in Sobha's published floor plans; check the plan for the specific unit
- Two-bedroom prices come from Property Finder; Sobha publishes only a project range
Bayside Marina Residences
Fully furnished one- to three-bedroom apartments in Tower C of Bayside, a Marina Residences cluster with sea views on Sobha's Siniya Island, Umm Al Quwain. From AED 1.51 million on a 60/40 plan, due March 2029.
What works
- Sold fully furnished, with sea views described by Sobha.
- One of the earlier marina completions, listed for March 2029.
- Two-bedroom apartments are priced only modestly above one-bedroom units on Property Finder's figures.
What to weigh
- The 60/40 plan as listed gives no deposit size or instalment dates; ask for the full schedule.
- Every published two-bedroom plan is under 810 sq ft.
- Layouts duplicate those in Pierside and Yachtside, on sale at the same time; expect direct competition for buyers and tenants.
